Domino

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Porches is an artist known for their unique blend of indie pop and electronic music. With a discography that spans over a decade, Porches has captivated audiences with their introspective lyrics and catchy melodies. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as *LVL UP*, *Nova fliegt zum Mond*, and *Wide Open Mind*, Porches creates music that is both relatable and thought-provoking.

Formed in New York City, Porches quickly gained recognition for their distinct sound and captivating live performances. Their music often explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, resonating with listeners on a deep emotional level. Fans of *Hovvdy*, *Kaleem Taylor*, and *Ian Late* will appreciate the introspective nature of Porches' songs.

With each album release, Porches continues to push boundaries and experiment with new sounds. Collaborations with artists like *Ovlov*, *Buttering Trio*, and *Forth Wanderers* have allowed them to expand their musical horizons even further. Whether you're a fan of indie rock or electronic music, Porches' eclectic style is sure to leave a lasting impression.

'Porches' debut full-length for Domino and a major step forward for frontman Aaron Maine - as an evolving singer / songwriter, and as a nascent producer. Written and recorded almost entirely in the Manhattan apartment he shares with his partner and frequent collaborator, Greta Kline a.k.a Frankie Cosmos, 'Pool' is an elegantly drawn set of gorgeous synth-driven pop songs, and an expansive re-articulation of the melancholy we've come to expect from him; from the pristine harmonies of 'Hour' to the undulating R&amp;B of 'Underwater' to the Auto-tuned majesty of the title track. "I feel like I naturally gravitate towards the more melancholic experiences in life," he says, "but this time around I tried to dissect those moments and somehow extract what was so beautiful about them." The result - recorded twice, and eventually mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear, Beach House, Tobias Jesso Jr.) in his Los Angeles studio - is a sophisticated and fully immersive listening experience, with Maine's voice at its center. "I want people to feel dark, beautiful and strong when they hear this new record," he adds, "I want them to fall in love."​LP - Heavyweight Black vinyl with spot gloss detail on jacket, includes 12"x12" insert and MP3 download card.LP+ - Heavyweight Clear vinyl with spot gloss detail on jacket, limited to 750, includes 12"x12" insert and MP3 download card.
